Scaling regimes of active turbulence with external dissipation
Berta Martínez-Prat, Ricard Alert, Fanlong Meng +5
Active fluids exhibit complex turbulent-like flows at low Reynolds number. Recent work predicted that 2d active nematic turbulence follows universal scaling laws. However, experime…
Active boundary layers
Jérôme Hardoüin, Claire Doré, Justine Laurent +3
The role of boundary layers in conventional liquid crystals is commonly subsumed in their anchoring on confining walls. In the classical view, anchoring enslaves the orientational…
Coexistence of nonequilibrium phases in assemblies of driven nematic colloids
Josep M. Pagès, Arthur V. Straube, Pietro Tierno +2
We combine experiments, theory, and simulations to investigate the coexistence of nonequilibrium phases emerging from interacting colloidal particles that are electrokinetically pr…
Reconfigurable swarms of colloidal particles electrophoretically drivenin nematic liquid crystals
Sergi Hernàndez-Navarro, Pietro Tierno, Jordi Ignés-Mullol +1
We present experiments where anisometric colloidal microparticles dispersed in a nematic liquid crystal cell with homeotropic anchoring conditions are dynamically assembled by mean…
Patterning active materials with addressable soft interfaces
Pau Guillamat, Jordi Ignés-Mullol, Francesc Sagués
Motor-proteins are responsible for transport inside cells. Harnessing their activity is key towards developing new nano-technologies, or functional biomaterials. Cytoskeleton-like…
Reconfigurable assembly of nematic colloids commanded by photoactivated surface patterns
Sergi Hernàndez-Navarro, Pietro Tierno, Jordi Ignés-Mullol +1
Different phoretic driving mechanisms have been proposed for the transport of solid or liquid microscopic inclusions in integrated chemical processes. However, the ability to rever…
